    One of the best gyms around. Great equipment and if something breaks, it actually gets fixed or replaced in a timely matter.

    I was in Detroit for business and one of the first things I did was search out a gym to get me…read morethrough the week. I came across RTB gym and decided to give them a try and I'm glad I did! I love EVERY aspect of this gym and it may be one of the best gyms I have ever been to. Allow me to explain all the great aspects: -They open a 4:30AM (huge plus for people like me who like to start the day with a workout before work) -They have a ton of equipment -The staff was super nice -You will rarely (if ever) see a member playing on their phone between sets. The only thing you'll see in their hands is a weight. -You will not find a gym that will give you a better bang for your buck -The members respect the gym -Its hard to explain, but just the atmosphere (music, pace of other members...etc) it makes you want to push yourself harder Make no mistake, this is a gym that functions with an old school muscle factory. This is not a fitness center, athletic club, or anything remotely resembling a place like planet fitness. You come here to work out. The machines have some wear to them from heavy use, but but everything functions properly. With that being said, you may look at the pictures, website, and videos and question if you would fit in at a gym like this. I will say that I was a little intimidated when I researched it as I am a 165lb shell of the man I used to be in college, but trust me, if you're serious about weightlifting, you keep your phone in your pocket, and push your limits, you'll fit right in!! Hell, its such a great gym that if I'm ever in the area or passing though, I may pick up a day pass just to experience it again.

She very technologically challenged. She couldn't find my membership number even though it's one of the earliest from being a legacy member.

    I can't say enough about this specialized gym-it is truest unique in so many ways!…read more It's Amazing! I'm so impressed! I started working out at Carmel Valley Red Effect in March. In the beginning I was greeted enthusiastically by all the caring staff! They have "Excellent, knowledgeable, and friendly" trainers-and they have all become an encouraging family! I can't thank Sophie-IT, Tori-IT, and Alyssa-cycle/spin enough-they are all top notch---amazing teachers/trainers/supporters!!!! I'm On the Mend- *After breaking my neck a few years ago and having had neck surgery, lower back herniations, and jaw difficulties-severe TMJ--this gym has been a blessing to me....the infrared training environment has helped with my pain substantially, and loosens up the muscles in a much needed way! My surgeon is impressed-I do keep him in the loop of my workouts! *Therefore-I have found an alternative means to a source of healing/recovery without medication-that works! Huge relief!!!! *Additionally, through the guidance of the professional trainers/Staff-I am in the best shape of my life-at the age of 45! And feel amazing-I feel stronger and healthier than ever before!!! And I'm in great shape-for the first time in a very long time-so it can be done at my age!!!! *I have never felt emotionally, mentally and physically better than I do now! I am so happy with Red Effect-try it out! This is where you can learn to push yourself and grow beyond your wildest dreams in the areas of: strength, endurance, perseverance, and power!!!!

    Sauna review ONLY…read more.. I'm very pleased to have a location that I don't have to be a member to use their sauna and on top of that you're able to reserve using their app. Please note they did book quickly, so book a head. **Let me start off - every REIF is pricing is different. So confirm pricing before booking. For all their services, they do request you arrive 15 to 30 mins early which I didn't know they'll also allow you to go in early as well. The sauna has it's own room, so no need to change in the restroom. You'll get a total of 45 mins, so make sure to change FAST. Lol! So why 3 stars? Well I was informed they have WIFI, music streaming, and Netflix (if you have an account) all in the sauna area; unfortunately when i tried internet, it was SO SLOW. I literally couldn't do anything - I was glad at least a class was going so i'll have some good music playing in the background (tried to tone out the instructor). I was excited to use the pre-settings in the sauna system but it seems like it wasn't getting heat enough - eventually i cancelled and turned up to the max. I will return but with a plan - soon as i walk in TURN UP THE TEMPERATURE (while i change) and don't count on internet to be working. If this place was closer, then i might look the other way but since i literally passed two other REIF; I was looking for top notch I guess.

    I been a member since August 2018 and can I just say .... joining was the best decision of my life…read more In the past I have done boot camps/CrossFit, so I was really hesitant about just doing full on CrossFit. I used to think that CrossFit was only for super fit people, but truly I found out that it was a lie. In CrossFit downriver there is a diversity of ages and levels. When I finally decided to join, I called and spoke to coach Kirk and told him I wanted to do a session (1st one is FREE, if u have never done CrossFit they have a 1:1 class to teach you all the moves, it does have a fee. Recommend because you don't want to hurt your self doing the wrong moves) My first day I was so scared but everyone was so welcoming and helpful ! And that is what drew me to join. They are a huge family and they welcome everyone ! Pros *All the coaches are great and knowledgeable! *huge variety of hours . *sometimes they have parties or get togethers. *they have a crossfit gymnastic class. *coaches help you figure out easier moves or lighter weights. *all ages and skill levels *they push you to finish but at the same time they cheer you on. *they post their workouts on their website and Facebook (I like to mentally prepare myself) *they always have their competition WOD. and their fitness WOD ( I do fitness and I sweat too much ) Cons- *none - well maybe being super sore after every class lol (but the pro is that is good for **************** With every work out I still die (no kidding)... but then I feel so relaxed and accomplished! I love it... Why CrossFit dowriver Because it makes me forget about all my worries for one hour!!!

    Best fitness experience of my life. Coaches are top shelf -…read morethey know their stuff and its obvious they care about your safety and want you to do well! Thanks!

I have brought in 6 visitors to PIYO with me and all of them liked it. These 6 people all ranged in athletic levels from couch potato to olympic style weight lifting. I love how PIYO has strength building and stretching. Its follow-the-leader style and set to music, so you don't have to worry about counting. I and everyone I've tried it with say its challenging but it's fun and they feel good after class. I love the inexpensive drop in classes! It makes it really easy to invite a friend to try it out. It also helps if you're like me and your schedule changes frequently. I first came to the studio because my friends and I wanted to check out the hip-hop class just for something fun to do for a night. While I was there, I saw they had a PIYO class. I was curious and dropped in on that one the next week. Now I am hooked. I bought a package of classes and can use them on any of the classes, so I can try out new ones or go to my favorite (PIYO). I love the whole attitude of the Studio. Christy is especially positive and fun. She is always saying things like "exercise is a celebration of what your body can do, not punishment for something you ate". The "vibe" is about getting stronger, feeling good in your own body, and doing whats right for you. If you fall behind in class or have to take a breather, she never calls you on it. She provides variations of the moves to meet everyone's fitness levels. I tried Cindy's Boot Camp Class-- another challenging class but I liked it. I would go more often if my schedule allowed it. I also tried the hip-hop class, which is also follow-the-leader style, so it's like a dance party. Very fun and I appreciated the clean music. I would be comfortable inviting family members to that class. I really can't say enough good things and if you're searching yelp for somewhere to exercise, you should check this place out.
